Biochemical and Organic Simulation System (BOSS) is a general-purpose molecular modeling program that performsmolecular mechanics calculations,Metropolis Monte Carlo statistical mechanics simulations, andsemiempiricalAustin Model 1 (AM1),PM3, and PDDG/PM3quantum mechanics calculations.[1] The molecular mechanics calculations cover energy minimizations, normal mode analysis and conformational searching with the Optimized Potentials for Liquid Simulations (OPLS) force fields. BOSS is developed by Prof.William L. Jorgensen atYale University, and distributed commercially by Cemcomco, LLC andSchrödinger, Inc.
